If he is required to take this money, then this is a non-story.
///
even if he wasn’t required to, it would be a non-story.
medicaid doesn’t pay enough to hard-working doctors.
“Medicaid payments are for services rendered.”
THIS MAKES ME RESPECT HER HUSBAND MORE.
NO ONE here is saying anything bad about him! but he is NOT the point!!!
“one time” money, = “every year for 6 years ?
$50,0000 = “not a penny” ?
...it IS a story, because Bachmann again, was wrong at best, and lied at worst.
she now has REPEATEDLY shown she has an “accuracy problem”.
(and she is NOT stupid. she is a TAX ATTORNEY.)
added to her coming out fiasco, with her own words about John Wayne coming from Waterloo when he DIDN’T (but Gacy DID live there...), the music Rollins apparently didn’t check the license for, Lexington and Concord gaffe, and her
wrongly accusing obama of using ALL of our strategic oil reserve, etc.
well, remember the MSM saying Obama shows executive experience from running such a great campaign?
Bachmann was a LOT better, BEFORE she started listening to Rollins.
WHY she hired a loser like Rollins, i don’t know.
maybe because:
“ ...where questioning her decisions draws suspicion of disloyalty. She’s described as meticulous and worried about the finer details, such as soundtracks played to pump up rally crowds.
Ms. Bachmann has experienced frequent top-level staff changes in her congressional office since 2007. She’s had six chiefs of staff in four years, five press secretaries, five legislative directors and three communications directors. “

i LIKE Herman Cain. i think he is a TRUE Tea Party Conservative. He’s not a tax lawyer, He’s not a politician, and hasn’t been in Washington for years.
...but, if he did the SAME things as Bachmann, i’d be honest enough, to say the SAME things.
(in fact, i’d be harsher. unlike Obamabots, or some Bachmann supporters, i hold my candidates to a higher standard.)
...Bachmann IS a nice lady. she HELPED raise 23 foster kids, for 7 years.
she IS a good conservative.
she is a GOOD person. and if she’d DUMP ROLLINS,
maybe i’d consider voting for her again.
But she simply is NOT showing what i need in a President, to undo the Obama nightmare.
.
The MSM had to LIE and INVENT things about Palin.
Bachmann is saying and doing these things HERSELF.
.
I respectfully ask her supporters, to be honest, and vett her for her gaffes the same as they would if if Gingrich or Romney did the SAME thing.
I thought Liberals have double-standards and hypocrisy, not Conservatives.
Bachmann is a good person. I’m not making personal attacks against her. I’m simply pointing out she’s not perfect.
yet people here are making PERSONAL attacks, on people who are pointing out honest concerns, about REAL gaffes by Bachmann.
...why are you attacking us?
We ALL winced, at Gingrich having a .5 million account at Tiffany’s.
HOW would you react, if Gingrich said he didn’t get a penny for something, that was on his tax return for $50,000 ?
(and Gingrich, is NOT a tax attorney...)
Why does Bachman get a pass on gaffes, but Gingrich, Romney, Cain, Pawlenty, don’t? Because she’s a woman?
Just as Obama is PRESIDENT now, because people ignored his gaffes because he is black?
... if conservatives here don’t care, if she makes multiple statements that are factually untrue if not outright lies, then how are we any better than Obama supporters?
rlmorel says she hasn’t bothered to learn about Bachmann.
Yet is quick to criticise freepers who HAVE looked at the direct quotes from Bachmann. isn’t this what vetting is?
rlmorel says: “As for her statements on her farm, that isn’t my issue.” - so she doesn’t care, if Bachmann said she didn’t get a penny, but her 2010 tax return shows $50,000 ? ...”mistakes” like that aren’t important,
in the future President of our country?
And, do you want FReepers asking honest vetting questions about this NOW, or the MSM pointing all this out later in the general campaign?
Do you want Obama to WIN in 2012, because we refused to honestly vett?
Enough of this idiocy. Bachmann has 100% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union.
Claiming she isn't a conservative is absurd and merely a smear tactic against her by people that seem very threatened by her.
and i initially said i did NOT like Cain.
but i did honest research, and the more i learned,
the more i was impressed.
maybe what this country NEEDS now,
is a President who is NOT a lawyer or politician,
but a successful real-world business,
with degrees in MATH and COMPUTER SCIENCE.
...wouldn’t that be refreshing!
and initially, i DID like Bachmann.
but i do have an open mind both ways,
and since she hired Rollins,
she has done and said things that changed my mind.
i would like to hear specifically why people here,
think Bachmann is so much better for US President than Cain.
(...besides her saying she is the leader of the Tea Party.)
Why should anyone listen to you?
You don't know how to use a shift button.
You don't know that "I" is supposed to be capitalized.
Your sentence structure is fragmented.
You don't know how to format a paragraph.
The grammatical and typographical errors in your post are so numerous I could not begin to count them all.
And yet you think you are qualified to publicly pass judgment on Bachmann's gaffs?
I agree. Keep going, don’t give in to Bachmanbots.
this is just the beginning of her campaign...and it DOESN’T MATTER if she can prove she is right or “its no big deal”..we need someone that is bullet proof.
I am getting less and less comfortable with her.
Well Well that is quite an attack. I think most of us were directing our comments to the ONE issue the thread was about.
since the msm have made it clear they are going to go after her foster children, we would all be remiss by not holding the msm to a standard of truth. Allowing them to get by with smering one candidate certainly is NOT going to help the others.
I would think badly about Bachmann more for hiring Ed Rollins than any other thing she’s done. That guy is a loser.
